What is the Harvard and Hurricane formation flight experience?

The Harvard and Hurricane formation flight is a unique WWII warbird experience where you fly in a genuine T-6 Harvard with a Hawker Hurricane flying in close formation on the wing for a minimum of 10 minutes.

How long is the Hurricane on the wing during the flight?

The Hawker Hurricane flies in close formation with the Harvard for a minimum of 10 minutes during the 20-minute flight, providing exceptional air-to-air viewing opportunities.

Is this better than a Spitfire flight experience?

Unlike most Spitfire experiences that are viewed from the ground, this experience places you airborne in formation, giving you eye-level views of a Battle of Britain fighter exactly as wartime pilots would have seen it.

Which Hurricane aircraft is used for the formation flight?

Whenever available, the formation aircraft will be the Battle of Britain Hawker Hurricane Mk I V7497. Due to maintenance schedules, an alternative Hawker Hurricane may occasionally be used while maintaining the same formation experience.

Can I take photos or video during the flight?

Yes. This experience is designed to offer exceptional air-to-air photography and video opportunities, making it one of the most visually striking warbird experiences available in the UK.
